chrysalis Posted April 15, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) you can charge the cost of each cup to your cabin account, if you prefer or you can buy the coffee package which is embedded with your medallion Edited April 15, 2021 by chrysalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser-66 Posted April 15, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted April 15, 2021 What does the coffee package cost? I only want brewed coffee not the fancy drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted April 15, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Or if you booked using the plus fare then as part of the plus fare unlimited brewed & specialty coffee beverages are included. In 2019 the Premier Coffee & Soda Package cost $23.59/pp/day. In the past there was a coffee package that included unlimited brewed coffee plus 15 specialty coffee drinks. I can't locate the current cost, but believe it was $31.58 ($31 + 18%). If you are only interested in brewed coffee and you are on a Royal Class ship then suggest you try the coffee in the buffet first before purchasing a package. Royal Class ships have coffee prepared from grounds and it's fairly decent. Edited April 15, 2021 by skynight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Grounds Coffee Package Sip your favorite espresso-based beverage or tea with the pre-purchase of a specified number of specialty coffees (numbers vary by itinerary) during the voyage of purchase, as well as complimentary brewed coffee and hot chocolate.

The brewed and fancy coffee drinks go together. If you have a drink package you automatically have the coffee package as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser-66 Posted April 15, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted April 15, 2021 My situation is that my husband doesn't drink coffee or alcohol. I believe if I purchase a package he also needs to purchase one. That's a lot of money to spend when only used by myself. I used to be able to just buy a coffee card and I was set for the cruise. Just wondering what my options are? I'm Platinum so I already get free WIFI. Don't think the Princess Plus would benefit me. Can anyone enlighten me?

Mud_Shark Posted April 15, 2021 #9 Share Posted April 15, 2021 You can still purchase the same coffee card as you used to - it just is not a physical card anymore. It will be assigned to one of your medallions. Only one person needs to purchase it. We do this all the time. My wife likes to drink tea, so she gets the teas for free, and we share the 15 specialty drinks. I don't like coffee, but I do like the frozen coffee mocha blended specialty drinks. There are some nice chilled fruit flavoured drinks that are part of the specialty beverages, and they go down real nice after a hot day out in the Caribbean sun.

You are also able to buy it (I think) at the International Cafe coffee bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many now booking with Princess Plus fares that include the beverage package I wonder how aggressive they will be in selling the coffee "card" in the future. But as you say, it will be available at any bar, at least the ones that do have coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Regal in March 2020, last sailing before suspension, and found this coffee to be acceptable. I wonder if the grand class of ships have been refurbished with these coffee makers.
